Michael Cremo, author of Forbidden Archeology, joins to discuss radical ideas about human history, suggesting we've existed for millions of years. He dives into mind-bending topics like out-of-body experiences, the existence of Bigfoot, and UFOs. Cremo also explores significant archaeological finds, like the Laetoli footprints, which challenge mainstream timelines. With a unique blend of adventure, including a volcanic escapade, he invites listeners to reconsider the nature of human consciousness and our ancient past.

Extreme Human Antiquity, authored by Michael A. Cremo, serves as a sequel to his earlier work, Forbidden Archeology, delving deeper into the evidence supporting the theory of extreme human antiquity. Cremo presents additional archaeological findings and case studies that challenge the conventional timeline of human evolution, arguing that modern humans have existed on Earth for millions of years. The book revisits some of the cases discussed in Forbidden Archeology, providing new insights and updates based on recent research and discoveries. Cremo explores various topics, including controversial fossil finds, anomalous artifacts, and geological evidence that contradict mainstream scientific interpretations. The central theme revolves around the idea that the history of humanity is far more ancient and complex than commonly accepted, and that the scientific community has often overlooked or suppressed evidence that challenges the prevailing paradigm. Ultimately, it invites readers to question established narratives and consider the possibility of a more ancient and diverse human presence on Earth.
The descent of man
Charles Darwin
In 'The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex', Darwin extends his theory of evolution to humans, discussing how humans evolved from pre-existing forms and the role of sexual selection in this process. The book compares human physical and psychological characteristics to those of other animals, arguing that humans and other species share a common ancestry. It also explores the differences between human races and sexes, and the evolutionary basis of human behaviors and moral qualities. The work challenges the idea of special creation and argues for the continuity between humans and other animals in both anatomy and mental faculties[2][4][4].
On the Origin of Species
Charles Darwin
Published on November 24, 1859, 'On the Origin of Species' by Charles Darwin is a seminal work in scientific literature. The book presents a comprehensive theory of evolution, arguing that species evolve over generations through the process of natural selection. Darwin supported his theory with evidence collected during his voyage on the HMS Beagle, as well as from subsequent research, correspondence, and experimentation. The book addresses the struggle for existence, the variability of species, and the principle of divergence, explaining how natural selection leads to the adaptation and diversification of life on Earth. It has been a cornerstone of evolutionary biology and has had significant impacts on both scientific and public discourse[2][4][5].
Good to Great
Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't
Jim Collins
In 'Good to Great,' Jim Collins and his research team investigate why some companies achieve long-term greatness while others do not. The book identifies key concepts such as Level 5 Leadership, the Hedgehog Concept, a Culture of Discipline, and the Flywheel Effect. These principles are derived from a comprehensive study comparing companies that made the leap to greatness with those that did not. The research highlights that greatness is not primarily a function of circumstance but rather a result of conscious choice and discipline. The book provides practical insights and case studies to help businesses and leaders understand and apply these principles to achieve sustained greatness.
Forbidden Archeology
The Hidden History of the Human Race
Richard L. Thompson
Michael A. Cremo
Forbidden Archeology challenges one of the most fundamental components of the modern scientific worldview by discussing the work of researchers over the past two centuries who have found bones and artifacts indicating that people like ourselves existed on Earth millions of years ago. The authors argue that these findings have been ignored by the scientific establishment because they contradict the dominant views of human origins and antiquity. The book is a detailed compilation of case studies in the history and sociology of scientific knowledge, highlighting a potential 'knowledge filter' that has led to a radically incomplete set of facts about human origins[1][2][4].
Is the story of humanity far older than we’ve been told? In thismind-bending episode, Michael Cremo—author of Forbidden Archeology—joins us to reveal why mainstream science may be hiding the true timeline of human history.
